Forty-four year-old Zelina Whittington was yesterday remanded to prison having been charged with the murder of her landlord 62-year-old Azaad Ganie.
Whittington made her appearance at the Vreed-en-hoop Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs.
It is alleged that on May 27, last, at Vergenoegen, East Bank Essequibo, Whittington murdered Ganie. The charge was indictable, hence, the woman was not required to enter a plea.
On Monday evening Ganie was found dead in the upper flat of his Sideline Dam, Vergenoegen, home. Initial reports are that the man was beaten with a rolling pin in his head.
A post mortem examination revealed that Ganie died as a result of brain haemorrhage due to blunt trauma to the head.
